Chapter 247: Hou Yunjiao Evil Taste, Coquettish and Provocative

 Chapter 247: Hou Yunjiao Evil Taste, Coquettish and Provocative

Qin Ruan had a fair and rosy little face, like a lotus flower dewdrop that was tempting and charming.

The little girl was still too young, and just a slight provocation would make her blush like a kitten's paw scratching on Third Master's heartstrings.

Huo Yunjiao's Adam's apple rolled, and his heart softened.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, feeling really despicable for teasing such a little girl.

Huo Yunjiao held Qin Ruan's body softly, unintentionally letting go, and his hand reached out again to touch the broken hair by her ear.

"Just now, I noticed that your hair wasn't quite right. Was it cut like this? Is this the latest hairstyle?" He asked casually, as if just making a remark.

Qin Ruan's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she reached out to take the broken hair from his hand.

Mu Qing had made no room for error last night when she made her move, taking off a strand of hair by Qin Ruan's ear.

Don't underestimate this small clump of hair - it was particularly noticeable, representing a third of her ear hair.

That was why Qin Ruan had been so angry last night.

"It wasn't cut. I accidentally messed it up," she said unhappily.

The broken hair in her hand was asymmetrical to the other side, and it was a little ugly. Her hairstyle had been completely ruined.

Women dress up to please themselves, and Qin Ruan was also a woman.

She liked to dress up and admire those beautiful and exquisite women.

Humanity's pursuit of beauty and beautiful things never stops.

Third Master naturally knew that Qin Ruan's hair had not been cut. His gaze flickered slightly, and his eyes hesitated, but he didn't ask further.

He could also see that Qin Ruan didn't want to give him a reason.

"When you get home, have someone fix your hair. There's still a chance to salvage it," he said.

Qin Ruan's lips curved slightly, her emotions gradually relaxing, and her tone becoming more casual: "If there was no chance to salvage it, I would have broken my vow last night."

"Broken vow?" Third Master looked puzzled.

"Beat someone until there was nothing left but ashes."

She almost let Mu Qing be annihilated.

Hou Yunjiao smiled mischievously and teased her, "With your thin arms and legs?"

Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Don't be fooled by my slim figure, my whole body is meat."

Her smug expression on her face made Hou Yunjiao even more itchy inside.

"Really?" Huo Yunjiao asked.

He reached out and hugged Qin Ruan onto his lap so quickly that she couldn't react.

He lifted her up and said with a joyful laugh, "It's not heavy at all when I carry you."

He couldn't help but want to tease her.

Hou Yunjiao wanted to see Qin Ruan's face change, whether it was angry or happy, as long as it was not the cold facade she put up.

Qin Ruan was caught off guard and her face changed as expected.

She sat on his lap, leaning her body to prevent herself from falling, her hands on Hou Yunjiao's shoulders.

She used all her willpower to restrain herself from screaming.

There were still the driver and Huo Chuan ahead, and she didn't want to embarrass herself.

San Ye's hand was wrapped around her waist and he said meaningfully, "You're too thin, eat more meat in the future."

"Don't do this, there are still people around," Qin Ruan whispered, holding onto Huo Yunjiao's shoulder.

She lowered her eyes and saw the scenery in the unbuttoned top button of Hou Yunjiao's shirt.

His sexy and delicate collarbone was partially hidden in the shirt, making people jealous.

Qin Ruan pursed her lips and was about to get up from him.

Hou Yunjiao didn't stop her and watched her sit awkwardly beside him.

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue teasing her and seeing her change her face.

It was just that things were a bit unexpected.

If he continued to tease her, the fire in his heart would have to be dealt with by someone else.

Starting a fire was easy, but extinguishing it required a complicated process.

Hou Yunjiao leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed, sitting upright and elegant like a gentleman.

"Let me take you home to change your clothes first. Do you have any other plans for the rest of the day?"

Hou Yunjiao had a low and melodious voice.

From yesterday until now, Qin Ruan had not changed her clothes.

It was because of this discovery that Hou Yunjiao wanted to take her home first.

Qin Ruan: "Yes, I have to go to school. There's an elective course in the afternoon that I can't miss."

"There's still time. I can have someone fix your hair for you."

"Okay."

Although Qin Ruan seemed calm in conversation with Hou Yunjiao, her eyes remained fixed on the scenery outside the car, and she didn't dare to look back at him.

Hou Yunjiao glanced at her and noticed her reddened ear, with an unknown danger lurking in his deep eyes.

On the way, he didn't tease Qin Ruan again.

Sometimes it's best not to push things too far.

At Huo Mansion, Qin Ruan went upstairs to Hou Yunjiao's bedroom as if she knew the way.

She opened the closet and quickly changed into casual clothes.

As for Huo Yunjiao, he went to the study with Huo Chuan and Huo Zhi as soon as he entered the small building.

It's unclear what they were doing.

Looking at the way Huo Zhi looked like she was facing a formidable enemy before leaving, one would have thought she was going to her death.

In the study, Hou Yunjiao sat in front of the desk with an elegant posture, looking refined and cultured.

However, his exquisitely handsome face was expressionless, and his thin lips were tightly pursed with a cold and hard curve, exuding a faint sense of alienation and oppression.

Hou Yunjiao propped his head up with one hand and looked down at the desk in front of him, seeming to listen carefully to Huo Zhi's report.

From Qin Ruan's visit to the Qiao family yesterday to her specific experiences with Qiao Nanyuan and Lu Wenbin before going to Xiao Yunchen's place, Huo Zhi recounted everything to him.

After Huo Zhi finished speaking, she stood in the center of the study like a statue.

But only she knew the nervousness and unease in her heart.

"I called you up, which means there is a problem with Madam that you're not aware of," Huo Yunjiao said, raising her gaze and glancing at Huo Zhi.

His voice was slightly hoarse and calm, but carried a dangerous tone.

Huo Zhi's face changed greatly at the words.

She had not noticed that Madam was injured.

Before she could explain or argue, she knelt down on one knee and said, "I don't know!"

Huo Yunjiao followed her movements and slowly lowered his gaze.

His indifferent gaze fell on her and he asked, "Did you see anyone coming or going from the Xiao residence since last night?"

"No!" Huo Zhi spoke quickly.

She had been squatting at the door of the Xiao residence and had not seen anyone come or go. This much she could guarantee.

Huo Yunjiao fell silent, his pale lips lightly pursed as his face suddenly darkened.

Qin Ruan's cut hair was clearly done with a sharp weapon.

From her words, Huo Yunjiao knew that the little girl was not very obedient and seemed to have come into conflict with someone.

But now he was not sure whether that person was human or an unknown creature.

Qin Ruan seemed obedient but was as cunning as a little fox.

If she did not want to say something, no one could pry it out of her mouth.

After a while, Huo Yunjiao waved his hand to Huo Zhi and said, "You may go down first. Ruan Ruan will need the car later."

"Yes, Master." Huo Zhi replied.

Huo Yunjiao spoke in a deep voice, "In the future, prioritize Madam's safety above all else. Double the manpower in secret. It's not very safe recently."

"I understand." Huo Zhi replied.
